Once I established the range of values, I picked a couple of areas I was excited/confident about and built out from there. <br /><br />There is a useful general rule, though, for inventing forms in paint. With transparent media, you usually have to work foreground to background, and with opaque media, you&#39;re usually working background to foreground.James Gurneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-20758343997406942602013-03-08T23:36:56.789-05:002013-03-08T23:36:56.789-05:00Felice Applauso

It&#39;s always a treat when you post these animated gif&#39;s. I couldn&#39;t avoid taking notes of the way you tackle small sections of your artwork while painting the canvas. The workflow in which these sections are painted seem to indicate that following one small painted area you move across the canvas to balance out the previous colored area. This jumping across from area to area is something that it&#39;s done following some kind of a formal rule or it&#39;s more likely dictated by the artistic spur of the moment?Unknownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04089991027858928379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-63183898727058545082013-03-08T23:25:19.722-05:002013-03-08T23:25:19.722-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04089991027858928379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-24729214751677800352013-03-08T12:45:07.973-05:002013-03-08T12:45:07.973-05:00Thank you, thank you, Mr. Gurney, for really slowi...Thank you, thank you, Mr. Gurney, for really slowing this demo down...KimberlyKimberly M Zamlichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09704753606903355966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-44418996919052724682013-03-08T09:49:09.427-05:002013-03-08T09:49:09.427-05:00I love this post and painting too.

It didn&#39;t appear (unless I missed it) that it was possible to order from their site. Is the product commercially available yet?Tom Harthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04770238579550226268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-48841006010856272172013-03-08T09:05:08.923-05:002013-03-08T09:05:08.923-05:00Steve, Yes, I was using the 9x12 booklet.

I love to paint small, partly because I&#39;ve been hugely inspired by William Trost Richards and Ernest Meissonier, who was often called the &quot;King of Lilliput.&quot;James Gurneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-40710520679022563672013-03-08T08:57:48.517-05:002013-03-08T08:57:48.517-05:00Thanks for giving us another gif of the steps in y...Thanks for giving us another gif of the steps in your painting. It&#39;s very helpful. Wonderful painting with great sense of distance. A quick trip to Cottonwood&#39;s site shows 9 x 12 to be the largest watercolor booklet. Was that the size of this piece? It&#39;s no surprise to learn among your other talents you can now list headshrinker.Stevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09596875722436085739noreply@blogger.com
